Open your eyes

Life doesn't wait for you to catch up. It does not need you to go on; it's on a schedule of it's own. Take it for what it's worth. You can either go with the flow or get left behind. The choice is yours; it's up to you, because life could care less. It will go on without you, just as it will go on without me and the weird kid that lives down the street. You can take it for what it's worth or you can throw it all away. Life doesn't care; it does it's own thing. You get out of it what you put in; it is what you make of it. Live life, don't let it waste away. It's the greatest gift you could ever have.

3:30AM

Another sleepless night where the body is exhausted but the mind continues to wander as if it's on some journey. But to where? From one thought to the next, it doesn't stay in the same place for long, constantly jumping around searching for that moment of solitude when it can finally come to a rest.  Dizziness and nausea take over as the body screams for it to end. And then, a distraction, yes, a distraction. A book, words on page; a place for the mind to finally go. Turn page. Running wildly across the pages, soaking up words faster than they can be read, the mind continues on its frenzy. Page after page, chapter after chapter. And then suddenly, it starts to slow down. The slow soothing ticks of the clock get louder as the thoughts get softer. One after another, like the beats of a drum. Soon the eyes start to get heavy and the breathing slows.The body relaxes. The thoughts are now at a whisper. Sleep can finally come..

Date a girl...

Date a girl who reads. A girl who reads has imagination and passion. Date a girl who would rather spend money on books than a new pair of shoes. Whose room is filled with bookselves bought a garage sales, fixed up and painted to fit her style; books overflowing the shelves and closet because she has too many, except to her she doesn't have enough. Date a girl who keeps a list of all the books she's read and all the books she would one day like to read. She's the one that will always be carrying around an unread book looking for a chance to pull it how and get a few more pages in. She's the girl taht can sit down and read and whole series in less than a week, who could just sit in a book store for hours upon hours. She can't walk through a garage sale, or any store for that matter, without picking out a book or two to add to her ever-growing collection. Date a girl who reads. It's easy. Give her books. Give her books and give her words. Show that you understand, that you knwo words are love. Girls who read undestand people. They can easily relate to many people, just as they do with the characters in their books. Date a girl who reads because she brings color and imagination into the world. Date a girl who reads, because she is real.
